Theresa Mays four alternatives (are really only two?)

PM Theresa May has in a letter to MPs set out the available next steps for Brexit.

The PM sumerizes the present situation and outlines four alternative options:

1. To revoke Article 50

The PM underlines in her letter that this option would “betray the result of the referendum”,

2. Leaving the EU with no deal on 12 April.

The PM explains that this option has already been rejected by MPs.

3. Approach the EU for another extension which would see the UK remain in the EU during the European parliamentary elections.

4. Bring the vote next week, approve it, and leave on 22 May.

In the letter to her fellow parliamentarians, she also indicates: “If it appears that there is not sufficient support to bring the deal back next week, or the House rejects it again, we can ask for another extension before 12 April.”

I personally believe that only option 2 and 4 are the possible ones. Will EU really grant another extension? Very doubtful. Could the Pm revoke the article 50? Yes, but she will not. Then time is running out.

So this means that UK leaves the EU either on April 12 with no-deal or on May 22 with a 19 months transition period up until 31 December 2020. Now it is only a matter of time.

To what date will we see the UK legislation changed next week? The 12th April or the 22nd May? If not changed, as of now – UK leaves next Friday.
